They also offer the recording to hard drive feature of all PVRs. Hopefully, the new NTL PVRs will offer the same features when they are released at the end of the year.
no, I've actually seen a freeview box in a shop which isnt a PVR but which has a short 'pause' facility via a small in built buffer (unless it was labelled incorrectly in the shop!). perhaps that's what this bloke was thinking of.
